 === Resize a btrfs filesystem/device ===
-When resizing a filesystem, you also need to resize the partition(device) it is on. With '''gparted''' you cannot resize a partition that is mounted ! So you need to unmount it beforehand, or use a live-manjaro from USB to resize the partition and the filesystem.

-When resizing existing filesystems it is strongly advisable to be im possession of actual backups. This said, resizing is easily possible when using '''gparted'''.
+When resizing existing file systems, it is strongly advisable to have current backups. However, resizing is possible without any problems when using '''gparted'''.
 ==== shrink ====
-You must be aware, that you can shrink a filesystem only securely if it is ''not too full''. Shrinking a filesystem may take '''a long time''' because  btrfs may need to move data, that was located in the area to be freed, into the remaining area.
+What you need to understand is that you can only safely shrink a file system if it is ''not too full''. Shrinking a file system can take a '''long time''' because BTRFS may need to move data that was in the area to be freed to the remaining area.
-Using '''gparted''' it is save to shrink a btrfs filesystem. It will take all necessary steps like:
-* mount filesystem
